Overview

Les presentamos a Baker y Taylor, dos gatos amigos que están a punto de dejar su cómodo rinconcito en su biblioteca local para embarcarse en un épico viaje literario. Después de pasarse la mayor parte del tiempo leyendo en su biblioteca, a Baker y Taylor les anima su amiga Flora a que salgan a ver mundo. ¿Su primera parada? Nueva York. Allí, les cuenta Flora, conocerán a otro par de gatos amigos con ganas de compartir con ellos su biblioteca: la central de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York en la calle 42. Tras su llegada a la ciudad, Baker y Taylor se mueren por conocer a estos gatos de la biblioteca, pero ¡no los encuentran por ninguna parte! Con la ayuda de la fiable guía de viajes de Baker y el sentido de aventura de Taylor, y los consejos de algunos neoyorquinos, estos dos gatos amantes de los libros están a punto de resolver un gran misterio y aprender unas cuantas cosas interesantes por el camino.

Este es el primer título de una serie de libros de lectura independiente que combina divertidas historias protagonizadas por dos gatos lectores con datos reales para crear una experiencia de lectura integral que deleitará por igual a bibliófilos, amantes de los gatos y aficionados a la historia y la cultura local.


Meet Baker and Taylor, two cat buddies (opposite in every way) who are about to leave the comfort of their cozy public library reading nook to embark on one epic literary road trip! After spending most of their time reading in the library, Baker and Taylor are encouraged by their friend Flora to get out and see the world. Their first stop? New York City. There, Flora tells them, they’ll meet another pair of cat besties eager to share their library—the 42nd Street branch of the New York Public Library —with them. After they arrive in the city, Baker and Taylor are excited to meet these library cats but can’t seem to find them anywhere! With the help of Baker’s trusty guidebook, Taylor’s sense of adventure, and guidance from New York City’s own, these two book-loving cats are about to solve one big mystery and learn some cool things along the way.

This is the first title in a newly independent reader series that combines fun storylines featuring two bookish cats, with factoids throughout to create an immersive reading experience for bibliophiles, cat-lovers, and learners of regional history and culture alike.

Includes backmatter on New York Public Library and different New York City landmarks.
